Strengths: Deep, emotional storyline, huge amount of gameplay time, many playable characters
Weakness: Dated graphics, music, no voiceovers, not a pick up and play title
Suikoden III is different from traditional RPG storylines in its use of the "Trinity Sight System", allowing for the Suiko-world to be viewed from different perspectives. The graphics, simple as they are, still allow for a great variety of emotions, and the turn-based battle system is quickly learned even by newcomers. There are many mini-games and side quests as you try to recruit all of the...
Strengths: Anime graphics, gameplay, controls, extras, storyline
Weakness: Lack of in-game music
Suikoden 3 is an excellent sequel to an already amazing RPG. The game starts you off in control of 3 characters, each with their own storyline. Eventually, these storylines cross paths and lead to a bigger involvement in the overall story. The graphical cutscenes are amazing as they use anime style graphics to tell the story. The gameplay is also top notch and it involves strategy elements. Also,...
Strengths: Some decent gameplay at times
Weakness: Graphics, Soundtrack, Battle System
Suikoden III could've been so much, but it ended up a huge failing. The graphics are atrocious and lack detail. In addition, there's a ton of slowdown despite the fact that there's little in the way of detail. The sound is pretty bad as well due to an absoultely terrible soundtrack that could've been composed by a tone-deaf 3-year-old. The gameplay... eh, well it's not too great either. The...
Strengths: The name "Suikoden"
Weakness: Doesn't live up to the name
The series lost a lot from the transition to 3D. By losing a lot I mean it lost a lot of the fun. It's an all right RPG, but not Suikoden II caliber by far. The music is all right, but overall the experience wasn't that great. There are much better RPGs that deserve your time for the PS2.
Strengths: Soundtrack, familar Suikoden world, 108 characters.
Weakness: Camera, graphics, storyline doesn't feel as epic.
Suikoden's foray into the world of 3D has been a bumpy transition. I loved the first two games in Suikoden and that's why it saddens me that the third game in the series does not live up to the lofty standards set by the previous games. I did not like having to play the game from 3 different character's perspectives, I prefer to focus on one main protagonist. The graphics and environments seem...
Strengths: + nice character designs
Weakness: - hardly any music, enemies, exploration - decent graphics but definitely lacks detail or flair
Suikoden 3 is a decent rpg. It doesn't live up to the previous Suikoden games and is flat in execution. The character and town designs are great. Looking at the artwork and from the intro movie, each character is highly detailed and individualized. But once the game starts the 3D models just don't have the same flair. Everything seems to be made out of solid colors and there aren't many textures...
Strengths: Excellent story & characters
Weakness: Gameplay in general is a bit slower than it's preddesors
In the series' first transition into 3D, Suikoden III tries out alot of new features, and I found them to generally successful. The game's strongest point, the story, is excellent and almost on par with Suikoden II. The Trinity System gives additional story and depth to many characters and events. The addition of the "buddy system" to the battle system may be a bit frustrating at first, but it...
Strengths: Good characters, it's Suikoden!!!
Weakness: Doesn't have the same feel as previous Suikodens, battle system is awkward, graphics are lacking.
The Suikoden series is one of my favorite series and Suikoden 1 and 2 would easily make my top 10 games of all time list. That said I was expecting a lot from the third iteration in the series. It has 108 characters again and is similar to the previous games but when I'm playing it for some reason it doesn't feel like the Suikoden games I've come to know and love. The new graphics engine doesn't...
Strengths: good story
Weakness: not as good as suikoden 1 or 2
Unlike most rpg, you can choise 1 of the 3 main character to start the game. This result in having a more intersting story. The game play is decent, but missing the big battles from the past suikoden. Overall this game is good, but not as good as suikoden 1 or 2
is set in IS 475, roughly 16 in-game years after the events of Suikoden II. The game takes place in the diverse Grasslands region, an area to the northwest of Dunan from Suikoden II (which itself was to the north of the Toran area from Suikoden). Politically, the Grasslands are mostly controlled by the Six Clans, a loose coalition between the Karaya, Lizard, Duck, Chisha, Safir, and Alma Kinan...

I'll be the first to admit that I was a latecomer to the Suikoden series. I almost never started at all, and was convinced that the first Suikoden was going to be painful after playing through its first hour. I kept playing, though, and after witnessing all of the beauty and complexity of the Suikoden universe, not only was I hooked, but recruited all 108 characters and finished the game inside...

There are times when fantasy elements line up so successfully that the resulting game is an absolute joy to play. And then there are moments when what should have worked doesn’t quite, and the game becomes a labor through the potential of what might have been. Suikoden III, a PlayStation2 release from Konami, is a game that has a great premise, wonderful graphics, compelling characters and yet...

Like many aspiring youngsters out there, I first began my effort to make videogames a career by working on a fansite. A little piece of the web that nobody ever heard of that has since gone away, I penned my first piece for PlayStation Interactive covering a certain RPG by the name of Suikoden. Involving, massive, and the only Role-Playing game worth mentioning for the PS one at the time,...

Good RPG
Strengths: Very good storyline and fairly lengthy game
Weakness: Dated graphics
The Suikoden series is something of a cult classic among gamers. Suikoden 3 adds to its reputation. While the graphics are nothing spectacular, the gameplay and storyline make it a worthwhile addition to any gamers library. The trinity sight system (TSS) is unique to RPGs (at least to me) and makes the gaming experience unique while one collects the 108 stars of destiny. Overall, it is a very...
